Hi there,

Is it also possible to do this for a article category list?

It is possible to shown those numbers of comments if your menus is to shown single category list, but if you want to show on all categories layout, currently we cant achieved that.

And is this also possible for J! core modules displaying a list with articles?

You have to consult with J! core module service provider regarding this issues.

Please advice.

Hey Warith,

Thanks for your reply.

Perhaps it would be possible to create a custom plugin to get the number of comments for an item. Are there any code examples to get the number of comments from the database/component?

I don't mind a bit of coding but it would be great to get some input before i get started.

Hello Wim,

Here is the example of codes to get the comment count:

$model = KT::model('comments');

$count = $model->getCount('com_content', 2, array());

the getCount() parameters are:
- 'com_content' (the component name)
- 2 (the article ID)
- array() (the array of options that you can pass. you can see this file ../administrator/components/com_komento/models/comments.php on line 77)

Hope this helps.
